What Information Planet does

Information Planet s.r.o. is a Prague-headquartered study abroad consulting agency that guides Czech students through the entire process of pursuing education internationally. Founded in 2009 (with firmographic data showing 1996), the company operates as a privately held Czech limited liability company (s.r.o.) with an additional branch office in Brisbane, Australia, and reports 101–250 employees. It serves individual students and families rather than enterprise clients, with a horizontal segmentation spanning language learners, high school exchange participants, vocational and university applicants, junior camp attendees, and visa applicants.

The company's core offerings include language courses, secondary school placements, vocational school and university admissions, junior camps, and visa assistance across destinations including Australia, Canada, the USA, New Zealand, the UK, Ireland, and the EU. The end-to-end service model spans free initial consultation, school and destination selection, application submission with document translation, visa processing, accommodation arrangement (host families, dormitories, shared housing), pre-departure preparation, and ongoing in-country support. The technology stack is minimal — the company operates on a Wix-based website platform with no proprietary systems, no mobile app, no API, no integrations, and no disclosed AI capabilities.

Revenue mechanics rely on professional services fees for placement and visa assistance; the initial consultation is free and non-binding, with specific program pricing not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is sales-led through direct consultations (in-person in Prague, online globally, and in-person at the Brisbane branch), supplemented by content marketing via a blog, podcast distributed on YouTube and Spotify, and organic social media (Facebook, Instagram). There are no disclosed funding rounds, no institutional investors, no parent company, and no M&A activity — the business appears to be founder-owned and self-financed.

Broad incumbents

• IDP Education: Global education services company and one of the largest international student placement and English-language testing organizations. Comparable to Information Planet as it places students into universities and language programs across multiple destination countries, though at much larger scale and with English-language testing as a major revenue line.
• Kaplan International: Provider of English language courses, exam preparation, and university pathway programs across multiple countries. Comparable to Information Planet as a multi-destination language course and university placement provider, but with own-operated schools and broader global brand.
• EF Education First: Global education company offering language courses, study abroad, academic degrees, and cultural exchange programs across many destinations. Comparable to Information Planet as a multi-country study abroad and language program provider, but at far greater scale and with own-operated schools.

Direct peers

• CIEE (Council on International Educational Exchange): Major nonprofit study abroad organization running high school, college, and work abroad programs in dozens of countries. Comparable to Information Planet as a multi-destination study abroad provider with deep high-school exchange experience and visa/support services.
• AIFS (American Institute for Foreign Study): Established study abroad and cultural exchange provider offering high school, university, and customized programs across multiple countries. Comparable to Information Planet in offering end-to-end study abroad programs across multiple destinations with strong high-school exchange focus.
• ApplyBoard: Digital study abroad platform that connects international students with schools and programs in Canada, USA, UK, and Australia. Directly comparable to Information Planet as a multi-destination student placement service, but operating as a global SaaS-enabled marketplace rather than a manual advisory agency.
• INTO University Partnerships: University partnerships company that prepares and places international students into degree programs at partner universities in the USA, UK, and other countries. Comparable to Information Planet as a multi-destination university placement service, particularly for students needing pathway and language preparation.

Emerging players

• Studyportal: European-based global study search and comparison platform helping students find and apply to programs worldwide. Comparable to Information Planet in the multi-destination international study search/placement space, though operating as a digital marketplace rather than a manual agency.
• Edvoy: International study abroad platform that enables students to search, compare, and apply to universities and language programs globally. Comparable to Information Planet in serving students seeking placements across multiple destination countries, but as a digital-first platform.

Regional players

• Global Link Czech (and similar Czech study abroad agencies): Regional Czech-market study abroad agencies placing students in language programs, secondary schools, and universities abroad. Directly comparable to Information Planet as a same-geography competitor targeting the same Czech student outbound market with overlapping service lines.
